may recognise Jane
Brocket’s name from her
previous book The Gentle

celebrates creativity in
the home, including

and colourful designs of
Kaffe Fassett and Phillip

designs to create quilts
that echo beautiful
colours, shapes and
experiences such as days
at the beach, flowering
amaryllis or the lush
designs of 1950s floral
dress fabrics. Jane talks
about her fabric choices
and what inspired her
designs and provides
clear, illustrated
instructions for each
project. The Gentle Art
